Triangle Area Real Estate News & Information

As a realtor actively engaged on the Internet I regularly see Sellers and Buyers asking questions about getting rebates from their agent, looking for someone who will simply post their home in their local MLS, and in general seeking Realtors who will discount their services.There's no doubt in my mind that they have no trouble finding an agent willing to do this for them, what surprises me is that anyone would actively seek such a person/service. I wonder for example; if they would seek a discount doctor or surgeon, or perhaps actively choose to use a discount lawyer if they were in need of legal advice/defense. I can't help but hear in my head the old sayings, “There's no free lunch” and “You get what you pay for”

Why You Should Never Choose A Discount Brokerage

Here's the truth: weak, inexperienced, poorly trained agents (and there are many of them out there) who are struggling to make it, only have one one thing to offer, they'll buy your business. The public should know this and understand it. While they may talk about "new business models" that's little more than spin designed to persuade you and other gullible people into working with them.

When it comes to real estate, there's really very little substitution for experience. Experience only comes with time and costs money. This is the way it works in every profession and real estate is no exception. You can rest assured that when it comes to finding an excellent Realtor to help guide you through the home buying or selling process, who will be focused on getting you the best possible terms and price, you will get exactly what you pay for and if working with the least successful, least experienced, most desperate agents is good enough for you then by all means look for a broker willing to share their commission. If on the other hand you want a great Realtor, you've got to expect that they won't consider discounting their service (there's no reason they should) and instead allow them to earn their money and help you find a great home at a great price and make sure that your largest financial transaction is a successful one.
